0.10M जलिय HCl द्रावणाचा pH काढण्यासाठी खालीलपैकी कोणता गणितीय संबंध वापरावा ? Which of the following mathematical relationships should be used to calculate the pH of a 0.10M aqueous HCl solution ?

a)pH = log10(1.0 x 10⁻¹)
b)pH = log10(1.0 x 10¹)
c)pH = -log10(1.0 x 10⁻¹)✓ Correct
d)pH = -log10(0.10 x 10¹)

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration: pH = -log10[H+]. For 0.10M HCl, [H+] = 0.10 or 1.0 x 10⁻¹ M, giving pH = -log10(1.0 x 10⁻¹).

रासायनिक खतांच्या अतिवापरामुळे शेतजमिनीतील वाढलेल्या अम्लाचे उदासिनीकरण करण्यासाठी कोणते रसायन वापरतात ? / Which chemical compound is used to neutralize the acidity of soil increased due to excessive use of Chemical Fertilizers ?

(a)पोटेश / Potash

(b)चुन्याची निवळी / Lime water

(c)मिल्क ऑफ मॅग्नेशिया / Milk of magnesia

(d)अमोनियम हायड्रॉक्साइड / Ammonium hydroxide

1)फक्त (c) / Only (c)
2)फक्त (a) आणि (d) / Only (a) and (d)
3)फक्त (b) / Only (b)✓ Correct
4)वरील सर्व / All the above

Lime water (calcium hydroxide) or agricultural lime is basic in nature and is used to neutralize the excess acidity in soil caused by overuse of chemical fertilizers.
